Vaccum line replacement	Sign In

How do I replace pre-molded vacuum lines on a 91 pontiac grand prix with a V6 3100 engine. I accidently cracked one at the seam while replacing my fuel injectors. Now my engine light is on and my acceleration is all messed up. Any suggestions appreciated.

Do you mean something made of plastic that's unique like above shown "vacuum tree" ?? If a moulded elbow or whatever some items are available in fix-it packs or if unique enough you may need to get a new piece. The plastic vacuum stuff doesn't fare well with glue jobs. There's a line of parts for whacky stuff and problems called "help" products that I've seen with stuff for things like this.......

Yes it hooks into the throttle body with 3 holes and needs to be custom built. If I had that piece I might be able to replace the whole sytem with elbow connectors and vacuum hoses so I don't crack it in the future. Thanks for the advice.
